AH! It has been too long since checking in here!
I have to see the building from Frankfurt Germany is without a doubt perhaps THE best Neo ArtDeco building of the last 40 years. It doesn't just look art deco.. It has SOUL!
It has detail, care, art... The details in the brick work, the decorations in the crown, most neo-artdeco buildings either use cheap plaster and concreate in half hearted decorations, or skimp on them all together.
The residential building posted bellow is a good example...
It LOOKS somewhat artdeco, but it is still a mish-mash, and it just has bland lines, bland crown and no decorations what so ever...
